Just recieved this from Medscape:
Pacifiers May Help Prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome  CME
*News Author: Laurie Barclay, MD
CME Author: Charles Vega, MD, FAAFP*
"In consideration of potential adverse effects, we recommend pacifier 
use for infants up to one year of age, which includes the peak ages for 
SIDS risk and the period in which the infant's need for sucking is 
highest," the authors conclude. "For breastfed infants, pacifiers should 
be introduced after breastfeeding has been well established."

Personally I would like to know what is "well established".  I would 
like these authors to try to establish pacifier use in an exclusively 
breastfed 2 month old!
